Camping

Here are some pictures of a recent camping trip our family took.

I hope you enjoy them

so quiet...

We really enjoyed the time we got to spend together. We camped in our 12 person cabin tent. I was thankful that our site had running water; it made cooking and washing up so much easier. All of our meals were cooked over an open fire and they tasted so good. For breakfast, we had pancakes one morning and eggs and fried bologna another. Lunches were simple; we ate sandwiches. For supper, we had hot dogs and hamburgers our first night, and roast with fried potatoes the following night.

We fished and swam, hiked and explored, and cooled ourselves in the natural springs. The children brought me wild flower bouquets every day; there was never a shortage of flowers to look at. I'm glad I thought to bring something to hold all the flowers.

 I was blessed to be able to see the confidence my children have. I wish I had that kind of confidence when I was their age.
